APPLICATION: PLEASE FILL IN THIS FORM
We anticipate welcoming about three dozen researchers
to this program. Researchers will be chosen to build a group that
is well-balanced in terms of career stage and number theoretic
discipline. We welcome applications from women who will
apply for postdoctoral and/or tenure-track
jobs in the fall of 2017 and receive a PhD in
number theory in the spring of 2018, as well as women currently in postdoctoral or
tenure-track/tenured positions who have received a PhD
in number theory within roughly the past 10 years. Participants
in re:boot 2016 are welcome to apply, although some
preference may be given to women who have not participated in
re:boot before.

PROGRAM
Re:boot is a 2.5 day intensive "boot camp" for women in number
theory that will take place at Duke University during June 2017,
following the successful 2016 event
re:boot
2016.
Our days at this unusual event will be focused
on developing detailed long-term research trajectories. Our
activities will not include standard research talks, but will
instead be organized around (a) focused discussions on current
developments in areas of number theory; (b) time periods spent on
specific writing "assignments" meant to help solidify research
plans relevant to grant-writing and job applications; (c) vertically integrated mentoring; (d) Q&A sessions with
mathematicians who have participated in grant writing and grant
evaluation and hiring committees; (e) opportunities to get feedback from peers and
to gain new mentors.

Travel and accommodation
We will provide travel and accommodation funding for all participants.

Exceptional funding
While we believe in providing a supplement to assist with
childcare costs and child travel costs for participants who
will travel with a dependent child, such flexible funding is
difficult to obtain from US funding sources. We nevertheless would like to hear from
applicants if such funding would make a significant difference
in their ability to participate fully in re:boot.
